KBB's 10 most affordable SUVsThe 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport was named among KBB’s “10 Most Affordable SUVs” this week for its exceptional combination of utility, economy, and—most importantly—drivability.

Mitsubishi lists the starting MSRP of the Outlander Sport at $19,470, but KBB says that the Fair Purchase Price for the 2014 model falls somewhere closer to $18,900 (as of 5/21). The low price combines with the EPA-rated 24 mpg city/31 mph highway fuel economy to provide drivers with a practical people hauler that won’t cost too pretty a penny in the long run.

KBB's 10 most affordable SUVsKBB calls the 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport “zippy,” adding that it is both “lightweight and compact” and that the available manual transmission makes it even more enjoyable to drive. Currently, the 2014 Outlander Sport holds a combined 8.7 consumer rating on KBB.com.

Amenities that earned the Outlander Sport points with KBB’s editors include Electric Power Steering (EPS), leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and FUSE Hands-Free Link System® with Bluetooth®.

The 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport was awarded the Top Safety Pick honor earlier this year by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for standard safety features that include Active Stability Control (ASC) with Traction Control Logic (TCL); Hill Start Assist (HSA); Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS); anti-lock braking system (ABS) with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD); and Mitsubishi Motors’ Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) body/chassis construction technology.
